Shak espesre never designed or

the part pretty well goes without cay

turned to Toronto from the maritime
provinces, where he had All interview
with Sir John Mcdonald regarding the
disallowancc in Manitoba. 81 am de-
tcrnincd" said Sir John, THAT the con-
structiOn of that road shall be stopped
and if necessary by British regulars.
On my suggestion the imperial govern
lncnt has decided to establish a garrison
at Winnipeg and troops will be sent
there shortly. The idea has met with
favor by the British government Mr..
Walsh replied: "Our people will resist
with an armed force, and ifa collision
occurs rebellion will follow II can
not help that" said Sir John. 1--WE must
see that federal authority is maintained
over provincial authority, aud if rebel
lion is the result it will not be my fault.
1t will be the fault of the Mani
tobans. am determined to stop the
construction of the Red River Valley
railway if it has to be done at the point

A Card.

RumOr says that we failed TO secure
tho contract to build the court house be-
cause wc could not furnish the bonds
$4,000. RumOr is mistaken. In two
hours after we received the bond we
had secured signers for s., 900 and in ten
minutes moro could have secured the
remained, had wc not for good reason
concluded to withdraw.
We discovered that the law forbade
the commissioners to leav us more than
80 per cent of the amount Of o,r bid (and
that only as tho work proceeded until
the work was completed In the mean
time it might happen that we would
have twenty-five or fifty carloads Of ma
tcrial with no money to pay freight. WO
might have borrowed the money to
carry it on; but the contract called for
the building to be completed by tho
1st Of December, 1887. If for any rea-
son We should have been compelled to
got an extension beyond that time, we
should have been forced to carry it over
until spring and pay interest on the
borrowed money IA step We deemed
under all the circumstances neither Just
| to ourselves nor our bondsmen.
We sincerely thank the friends who so
generously stood by us, and should We
ever again require their assistance they
may rest assured they will never lose a
dollar through any fault of ours.
Respectfully,
GRANT & I.AwKESsOS

withdrawing; Stanley taking the contract
for the lowest bid-Sl7 .96s.35. Lawrence
Grant was appointed by tho board to SUI
perintend the work. The board also ap-
pointed Messrs. Currier, Barton and Ma
hood building committee. Contractor
Stanley went east MoAdsy to purchase
his material. Tho building is to be COM
pleted by the 1st of December.
There wore some happy county COM
missioners when tho business was fihl
ally closed up Saturday evening. The
court house question has been source
of great annoyance. Tho obstacles to
contend with need not be enumerated
at this time. Tho first mistake of the
board was made when they tried to
please everybody. Finally they be-
camo convinced that such n thing werc
impossible. Then they settled down to
duty, intent upon doing what thoy
believed to be right and proper regard.
less of criticism. They worked hard
and conscientiously. The result Of theil
labors will be appreciated.

School Matters.

The school board, at its meeting We'd
ncsday evening, closed contract with
c. A. Kent, the present superintendent
OF schools of Dickey county, to take
charge of our city public school as prin-
cipal. Mr.. Kent furnishes some very
strong recommendations.
The board also inspected the i'm
proyements now going on at the school
house. A we'll with about seven feet OF
water has been dug in the cellar and
walled and curbed; the building has been
given another course of siding and the
structure has been painted throughout,
including the roof and chimnevs. The
rear portion of tho building and out
house connections have been rearranged.
A steam heater or an improved furnace
will be placed in the building before
cold weather sets in, and altogether the
Devils Lake school will be very cOmfor-
table and convenient.
